nice cherry picking, I can do that too
 "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

That is not cherry picking  lmao, thats half the sentence, and an important part of the sentence.

It is as if in the sentence "Killing is not permitted, unless in self defense." the phrase "unless in self defense" is unimportant to the sentence.

It isn't cherry-picking when
1. It is half the sentence.
2. It is important to the overall meaning of the sentence.

Besides, a militia was only necessary when we did not have an army, moreover, the army and the government has way better tech and military hardware.

yeah the thing about america is that the thing that finally pushed us to revolt against the tyrannical british empire was their trying to take our guns away
we have guns so that if the government turns to stuff, we can revolt again. if real gun control was put in place, the constitution would quite literally be a legal justification for a revolution.

Actually, that is debateable. It is highly likely that the ownership of guns can be regulated. Moreover, the way most Americans own guns is against the constitution. For instance, it reads :

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

This suggests that guns would only be legal for members of a militia, and even if we ignore that, gun control is explicitly constitutional

What exactly is a radio song?

Generally when radio song is said, it means a song that is catchy/dumbed down just to get popular without much substance

Im sure youve probably heard this one. I know its a radio song but I really like it

SOME of T.I.'s stuff is good.

tbh theres nothing wrong with liking radio songs, its just that most arent good per se. There is a difference

Off Topic / Lyrically complex raps?

« on: July 26, 2015, 10:48:54 PM »

I'm normally a metal/punk listener, but pretty recently I've been getting into rap, and I'm really enjoying the capacity for complexness, though few that I've listened to seem to capitalize on it.

To give you an indication of what I might be looking for:

So far I've been impressed with
-Eminem (obviously, everything about this dude is insane, his flow, his lyrics, everything)
-Earl Sweatshirt (Has some loving sick ass lines, not a huge fan on how some of his songs "sound" though, good flow, a lot of potential as well.)

I've also liked the sound of several artists
-Eminem (again, flow and production is top notch)
-Kanye West (Great production and flow, but lyrics are mediocre most of the time)
-Watsky (Flow is good most of the time, production is hit or miss, lyrics are mostly mediocre)
-Tyler, The Creator (Flow is great, production is good, lyrics range from good, to ok, and I like how introspective he can be)
Tech N9ne (Flow and lyrics are pretty good, production is hit or miss)

Just as an explanation, the lady fired was the coordinator for /r/IAMA. She was the one that made the AMA's happen, and because she was an employee, she could coordinate with celebrities a lot easier than the moderators could.

The reason that /r/IAMA shut down and inspired everyone else to shut down is because they were given absolutely no warning that she was being fired, no one new was hired to help coordinate, and they had to cancel several AMA's because of that.
